Ice slurry is a type of cold storage medium with the advantages of high-energy storage density, good fluidity and fast cooling rate, which has the prospect of wide application. Because, the process of making ice slurry often faces problems such as recrystallization, ice blockage and so on. It needs to add some additives, because the additives structural properties can play a good optimization role, can reduce the ice slurry solution supercooling degree, improve the efficiency of ice production, refine the ice crystal particles, improve the ice slurry solution pumping conditions, reduce the size of the pipe diameter. In this paper, the effects of different types of additives in ice slurry solutions are described in detail and the role of additives is analyzed from the microscopic perspective of molecular dynamics. Finally, some suggestions are given for the future application of additives in ice slurry based on the current research situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
